I've used 10% ethanol ever since it came out here in Iowa, which is a long time, and I've never had an ounce of engine trouble because of it. Now when we talk carburetors, that is a different story. On some carter and ford carbs from the 80's the accelerator pump diaphraghm will wrinkle up like a prune if ethanol is used. On other models of Carter and Fords carbs it will work just fine.

Mileage will suffer just a little bit with ethanol but on the other hand ethanol has higher octane so if it is used all the time the timing can be bumped up just a bit on the older vehicles.
